Tesco recalls biscuits over peanut content

Tesco has recalled all of its Mini Monkey Milk Chocolate Biscuits due to the presence of a peanut protein not mentioned on the label.

The retailer issued a product recall after it identified that the product posed a possible health risk to anyone with a peanut allergy.

In the allergy alert issued, Tesco said: “Please return the affected products to store where a full refund will be given. No receipt is required. Tesco apologises to our customers for any inconvenience caused.”

No other Tesco products are known to be affected.

The move follows a product recall by the Food Standards Agency after it found traces of undeclared almonds in a range of fajita kits - thought to have been caused by paprika.
